A Call to Arms
The Spirit of the Lord says, “Rise up and be alert! I have trained and equipped you to prepare for the days ahead. And now I say to prepare for battle, prepare for war!
I have prepared you because of my great love for you; I do not want you to be taken off-guard but to be ready. This readiness requires full trust in Me, so do not fear! If you have diligently listened to everything I have said and applied my instruction, you will be well-equipped for what’s to come.
So, keep your eyes on me not on what’s around you. Fix your eyes on me alone and keep them on me! I have been preparing you to confidently step into your authority, and now it is time to level up.
It is time to be bold – timidity is not the order of the day. I am calling for My Kingdom Army Bride to don her military attire, and I am calling forth the vigilant prayer warriors who are not afraid to stand firm and make bold decrees in the spirit. It is time to defy the demonic principalities and powers and declare My name and My will in the earth. Spectator time is over, it’s time to arise!”

2 Corinthians 10:4-6 tells us that the weapons of our warfare are not physical weapons of flesh and blood, but that they are divinely powerful weapons and mighty unto God to destroy darkness and anything that sets itself up against the true knowledge of God.
Designate intentional time with Holy Spirit to fully evaluate your preparedness to war for the Kingdom of God. Ask Him how He would assess your readiness to stand for the Kingdom. Ask Him to reveal your strengths as well as where you need more development. Is it your trust in the faithfulness of God that needs strengthening? Ask Him where you need to be emboldened and ask Him to teach you.
Psalm 144:1 (ESV)
Blessed be the Lord, my rock, who trains my hands for war, and my fingers for battle.
2 Timothy 1:7 (AMPC)
For God did not give us a spirit of timidity (of cowardice, of craven and cringing and fawning fear), but [He has given us a spirit] of power and of love and of calm and well-balanced mind and discipline and self-control.
2 Corinthians 10:4-6 (TPT)
For although we live in the natural realm, we don’t wage a military campaign employing human weapons, using manipulation to achieve our aims. Instead, our spiritual weapons are energized with divine power to effectively dismantle the defenses behind which people hide. We can demolish every deceptive fantasy that opposes God and break through every arrogant attitude that is raised up in defiance of the true knowledge of God. We capture, like prisoners of war, every thought and insist that it bow in obedience to the Anointed One. Since we are armed with such dynamic weaponry, we stand ready to punish any trace of rebellion, as soon as you choose complete obedience.
